Gushing's  Story. 


HOW 

THE  GREAT  INDIAN  SAGWA 

Of  the  Famous  Ethnologist. 

I 

'HEN  the  famous  Ethnologist  FRANK  H.  GUSHING  was  in  Boston  with 
the  Zuni  Indians  last  spring,  he  was  seen  by  many  persons  who  had 
known  him  before  he  went  to  New  Mexico  to  begin  upon  his  life  of 
self-sacrifice  in  the  interests  of  science.  Very  few  of  these  persons  were  able  to 
recognize  in  the  bronzed,  strong-limbed,  clear-voiced  man,  the  feeble  youth  who 
had  cnly  three  short  years  before  left  the  Civilized  East,  almost  a  human  wreck. 
Many  had,  with  tears  in  their  eyes,  thoughc  that  when  they  bade  him  "  good  bye" 
on  that  sad  November  day  in  1879,  that  it  would  be  a  "good  bye  "  in  reality  — 
that  the  Sod  of  some  wild  Western  Settlement  would  soon  fall  heavily  upon  his 
rude  coffin,  unless  his  relatives  were  fortunate  enough  to  ascertain  the  place  of  his 
demise  and  have  his  remains  brought  home.  Mr.  Gushing  was  afflicted  with  a 
variety  of  complaints,  all  of  which  originated  from  a  diseased  and  disordered  liver. 
Many  supposed  he  had  Consumption  and  he  himself  was  among  this  number. 
His  chest  was  narrow  and  sunken,  his  face  was  sallow  and  expressionless  —  unless 
a  settled  look  of  despair  and  utter  hopelessness  might  be  called  expression  —  his 
legs  were  thin  and  trembling,  and  his  arms  were  the  arms  of  a  skeleton. 

C  On  a  chilly  morning  in  last  May  a  reporter  of  a  well  known  Boston  daily, 
called  upon  Mr.  Gushing  in  room  178,  at  Quincy  House.  The  reporter  had 
known  the  now  famous  gentleman  when  they  both  lived  together  in  a  town  in 
Notrhern  New  York,  and  being  aware  of  the  terribly  precarious  condition  in  which 
Cushing  was  when  he  left  for  Zuni-land,  was  naturally  anxious  to  see  whether  or 
not  his  old  friend  had  improved  or  retrograded  during  his  season  of  "  roughing  it'* 
in  the  extreme  South-West.  In  response  to  the  scribe's  rap  on  the  door  of  room 
178,  there  immediately  came  a  quick,  elastic  step  across  the  floor,  the  door  was 
opened  with  an  impulsive  movement,  and  before  the  eyes  of  the  newspaper  man 
there  stood  a  hale  brown,  hard-fleshed,  pleasant-faced  young  fellow  whose  eyes 
twinkled  merrily  and  with  a  half  mischevious  light  as  he  took  in  the  situation. 
He  knew  his  old  friend,  the  reporter,  at  once,  and  appreciated  the  amazement  of 
a  member  of  this  generally  never  surprised  class,  thoroughly. 

"Are  you  Mr.  Gushing?"  hesitatingly  asked  the  Journalist. 

"I  certainly  am  old  boy  —  Frank  Cushing,  and  don't  you  forget  it!  " 

"  I  see  you  have'nt  been  so  far  out  of  civilization  but  that  you  have  succeeded 
in  learning  some  Eastern  slang"  the  reporter  suggested. 

"Oh,"  with  a  hearty  laugh  replied   Cushing    "I've  got  that  since  I've  been 
on  this  trip,  caught  it  up  in  New  York  I  believe." 


After  some  conversation 
regarding  old  times,  the  almost 
miraculous  snatching  from,  the 
grave  of  Mr.  Gushing,  and 
others  matters,  the  young  gen 
tleman  who  has  become  so 
thoroughly  identified  with  the 
Zuni  Tribe  of  Indians  that 
they  have  consecrated  him  a 
priest,  was  asked  to  tell  the 
story  of  his  restoration. 

"I  have  no  hesitancy  in 
telling  you"  began  Mr. 
Gushing  "  and  I  wish  ferven 
tly  that  I  was  in  the  position 
.tp»  spread  the  great  secret 
broadcast,  so  that  all  of  my 
suffering  human  brothers  and 
sisters  might  receive  the  great  benefits  that  I  have.  You  remember 
about  my  departure  for  the  West — how  I  succeeded  in  securing  a 
commission  from  the  Smithsonian  Institute — through  the  kindness  of 
the  superintendent  Dr.  Beard — to  go  and  if  I  lived  long  enough  investigate  the 
worship  secrets,  the  medicine  secrets  and  the  folk-love  of  the  Zuni  and  other 
Tribes  of  Indians.  You  remember  also  how  it  was  more  like  a  funeral  than  any 
thing  else  when  I  bade  farewell  to  my  loving  friends,  hardly  expecting  that  I 
would  ever  see  them  again  in  this  world.  Of  course  they  did  not  like  for  me  to 
go,  but  I  had  a  strong,  and  almost  overwhelming  conviction  that  among  the  ab 
originals  of  this  land  I  might  come  upon  the  precious  fountain  of  health.  I  was 
always  a  naturalist — always  believed  sincerly  that  in  past  ages  there  have  been 
seen  in  this  great  country  of  ours  more  wonderful  things  than  this  century  ean 
boast,  and  with  this  thought  uppermost  in  my  mind,  I  was  only  too  glad  to  be  off 
towards  the  mecca  of  my  hopes.  There  is  no  use  in  detailing  to  you  how  intensely 
I  suffered  during  my  long  journey  Westward.  It  had  to  be  taken  in  easy  steps, 
and  on  many  occasions  I  became  convinced  that  I  would  never  reach  my  point  of 
destination.  However  I  finally  got  there,  and  was  laid  down  upon  a  couch  of 
leaves  in  tlie  wigwam  of  old  Wich-a-wah-wa,  the  head  chief  of  the  rather  Small 
Tribe  of  Zunis.  I  had  come  among  them  almost  in  the  capacity  of  a  spy,  but  the 
hunters  who  carried  me,  told  the  old  chief,  and  he  told  the  other  chiefs  that  I  was 
a  sick  Chieftain  from  the  great  white  race  who  came  to  be  cured.  The  niece  of  old 
Wich-a-wah-wa  commenced  to  treat  me  at  once.  I  can  very  indistinctly  remem. 
ber  the  beginning  of  my  cure,  for  I  was  unconscious  when  my  guides  brought  me 
to  the  Zuni  camp,  and  could  not  possibly,  I  think,  have  lived  through  another  day 
of  travel,  although  they  carried  me  tenderly  upon  a  hammock  made  for  the  pur- 
pose.  Finally  I  began  to  feel  my  strength  returning,  my  blood  felt  as  if  it  was 
flowing  in  my  veins ;  that  awful  feeling  of  depression  vanished  by  degrees ;  the 
birds  and  other  kinds  of  game  that  the  kind  Indians  brought  me  began  to  be 
relished  by  me — my  appetite  was  returning — Something  that  I  had  not  npssessed 
for  two  years.  At  length  I  was  able  to  sit  up  in  a  chair,  spread  over  with  soft 


•king— the  chair  is  really  200  y*ars  old,  and  is  still  iu  the  lodge  of  my  fathe*; 


'The  lodge  o   your  father,  why  what  do  you  mean  ?/' 

"I  mean  that  not  before  I  was   willing   to  be  made  a  priest— the  Priest  of 

War — and  went  through  the 
ceremonies  of  being  acknow 
ledge  by  old  Wich-a-wah-wa, 
would  the   Zuni   Indians   let 
me  into  the  mysteries  of  their 
ways.     That's  what!  went  to 
accomplish,  and  so,   after  two 
months,  when,  from  being  xat> 
the  very  verge  of  the  grave, 
the  old  Chief  told  me  that  I 
was    in    perfect    health    and 
that  they  could  do   no    more 
for  ine  in  that  line,  I  asked 
him  to  give  me  the  secret  of 
my  restoration.     The  girl  (his 
niece)  had  taught  me  in  those 
three  months  to  speak  some 
thing  of  the  Zuni  language, 
and  so  I  was  enabled  to  under 
stand  what  he  said.     He  told 
me  that  he  desired  me  to  re 
main  among  them  and  be  a 
chief  and  his  son.     I  told  him 
*v/w/    x\s\'V^          that  I  would  do  it.    Then  they 


put  me  to  all  sorts  of  hard  tests  and  I  stood  them.  Among  thefe 
were  going  nearly  naked  in  cold  weather,  of  hand-to-hand  encounter* 
with  wild  animals,  wrestling  matches  with  their  young  men;  and  they 
tested  my  courage  by  springing  their  fearful  looking  "ghosts"  .upon  me 
•when  I  was  not  expecting  them.  I  had  the  courage  to  stand  these  tests  and  was- 
finally  initiated.  Then  they  told  me  many  of  their  secrets  and  strange  beliefs, 
and  Tin-sing-wah,  the  head  medicine  man  in  a  long,  solemn  and  formal  speech 
made  me  aware  of  how  I  had  been  cured-  'It  was  the  great  ground  (herb)  medi 
cine  of  the  Kickapoo  tribe/  said  he,  the  Indian  Sagwa  that  brought  the  white 
brother  back  from  the  cold  presence  of  the  beyond.  The  Zuni's  know  many 
medicines,  but  none  so  good  as  the  Kickapoos  make  !  afterwards  by  much  inquiry 
I  ascertained  that  many  years  ago  the  Zuni  tribe  had  made  war  upon  the  Kicka- 
poos  in  order  to  wrest  from  them  this  secret  of  the  manufacture  of  the  Sagwa,  but 
had  always  been  repulsed.  The  Zunis  almost  worship  this  medicine,  and  while 
they  have  many  special  and  excellent  herb  preparations  of  their  own,  in  extreme 
and  desperate  cases,  they  resort  to  the  Sagwa,  supplies  of  which  they  secure  twice 
a  year  by  sending  special  messengers  and  treating  with  the  head  chief  of  the' 
Kickapoo  tribe." 

After  this  wonderful  and  interesting  story  was  finished,  Mr  Gushing  was 
asked  his  opinion  of  herbs  as  medicines  and  how  their  efficacy  compared  with  the 
41  scientific ''  treatment  of  the  physicians  of  civilization.  ''There  is  just  as  much 
method  in  the  manner  in  which  the  Kickapoo  or  the  Zunis  Indians  treat  their 
patients  as  in  the  mode  of  practice  pursued  by  the  Educated  City  practictioner  "  he 
replied ;  "  theirs  is  the  science  of  nature.  It  may  have  come  to  them  intuitively — 
why  not.  since  their  Creator  knew  that  their  sick  people  ought  to  be  cured,  and 
they  had  no  other  means  than  those  supplied  by  the  verdant  fields,  and  by  the 
spicy  woods.  Hardly  is  there  an  Indian  maiden  or  youth  of  ten  summers  but  who 
knows  more  of  botany  than  any  of  your  graduates  of  the  best  schools  in  the  coun 
try,  and  the  oldr  white-haired  medicine  men  know  for  what  medical  purpose  every 
blade  of  grass  or  tiny  root  grows.  The  Indians  are  a  wonderful  people,  and  our 
latter  day  physicians  will  yet  be  taught  many  startling  truths  by  them  that  they 
now  affect  to  despise.  I  owe  my  life  to  the  pure  compound  of  roots,  herbs,  leaves 
and  gums,  made  by  the  medicine  men  of  the  Kickapoo  tribe  of  Indians,  and  known 
all  over  the  Indian  Country  as  Sagwa,  and  I  would  never  again  put  in  my  mouth 
other  medicine  than  that  prepared  by  these  people." 

The  reporter  bade  Mr.  Gushing  good  morning  and  left  him  to  receive  other 
iriends.  What  he  had  said  about  roots,  herbs,  etc.,  set  the  newspaper  man  to 
thinking  on  the  subject  and  he  talked  with  a  number  of  old  medical  of  men  Boston, 
who  were  bound  to  admit  that  the  theory  brought  into  existence  in  civilized  com 
munities  by  old  Samuel  Thompson  (father  of  the  Thompsonian  School  of  Medicine) 
created  a  new  era  in  the  practice  of  physic.  They  all  remembered  the  time  when, 
in  the  early  part  of  the  present  century,  Boston  was  visited  so  disastrously  with 
•carlet  fever.  The  regular  physicians  of  the  city  were  unable  to  check  its  awful 
march,  and  gave  up  their  patients  to  death  by  the  hundreds.  It  was  at  this  time 
that  Samuel  Thompson  appeared  among  the  sicK.  He  discarded  the  old  phar 
macopoeia,  and  by  so  doing  called  down  upon  his  head  the  bitter  antagonism 
of  the  regular  physicians.  He  cured  his  patients  with  a  syrup  made  of  lobelia,  a 
beautiful  biennial  plant,  with  pink  flowers  and  fibrous  root.  Because  he  was 


9 


juccessful,  the  hatred  of  his  old  school  rivals  became  so  intense  that  he  was  a* 
©used  of  witch-craft,  arrested  and  put  on  trial  for  his  life.     The  jury  was  of  ordin 


ary  intelligence  however,  and  acquitted  him,  but,  to  this  day  full  justice  has  never 
been  done  him.  At  the  present  time  the  School  of  Medicine  that  Dr.  Thompson 
founded  has  no  perfect  representation. 

In  a  recent  article  the  New  York  Daily  Star  warmly  advocates  the  cause  of 
herb  and  root  medicines  and  gives  some  interesting  details  gathered  by  its  reporters 
as  to  the  extent  of  the  business  in  this  country.  Mr.  Walter  Adams,  a  well  known 
wholesale  botanic  druggist,  said  in  reply  to  a  question  as  to  where  these  herbs  and 
roots  came  from :  "They  come  from  nearly  everywhere,  but  principally  from 
Indian  settlements  in  the  far  West."  He  said  that  he  always  carried  a  stock  of 
About  200, 000  pounds,  sent  in  all  shapes,  and  consisting  of  every  known  herb- 
The  cost  of  these  goods  ranges  from  three  cents  to  $4  per  pound,  and  an  article 
that  one  year  can  be  bought  for  25  cents  a  pound  may  cost  $4  the  next.  There 
are  about  500  varieties  and  they  supply  all  the  wants  of  the  pharmacopoeia,  such 
as  solid  extracts,  tinctures,  oils,  etc.,  in  addition  to  simple  remedies  in  tK  %rm  of 
teas,  powders  and  syrups.  Many  valuable  additions  are  imported  from  France  0 
Oermany  and  South  America,  and  several  varieties  come  from  China.  The  purest* 
best  and  most  valuable,  if  the  white  race  more  thoroughly^  understood  them,  Mr. 
A-dams  said,  came  from  our  extreme  West  The  Indians  only  understood  them 


10 

and  they  guarded  their  secret  very  jealously.      It  would  be  dangerous  for  whiU 


men  not  understanding   Indian  botany  thoroughly  to   attempt  to   make   use   of 
kese  herbs,  as  many  of  them  are  poisonous 


[HE  above  is  a  simple  term,  and  but  few  in  the  community  are  without  a 
proportion,  but  few  indeed  exercised  it,  or  even  use  good  judgement 
when  sickness  overtakes  them.  The  Indians  are  an  exception  to  the  rest 
of  mankind  in  this  respect,  for,  when  from  any  cause  they  are  indisposed,  they  do* 
not  consult  some  half-pledged  disciple  of  Esculapius  who  at  once  proceeds  to  till 
heir  heads  with  latin,  and  their  stomachs  with  universal  poison  so  powerful  that 
their  lives  are  endangered,  but  they  go  to  their  own  medicine  men,  who  compound 
for  them  from  barks,  roots  and  herbs  such  medicine  as  is  required,  and  such  as 
invariably  restores  them  to  health.  Dyspepsia  is  almost  unknown  among  the 
Indians,  yet  with  the  white  population  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  it  is  one  of  the 
most  common  diseases.  The  disease  is  caused  by  indigestion  and  some  of  the 
symptoms,  which  will  be  readily  recognized  by  any  one  thus  afflicted,  are  as  fol 
lows  :  0  Fullness  after  eating,  Sour  Stomach,  Heartburn,  rising  of  food  in  th» 
throat,  pain  at  the  pit  of  the  stomach,  palpitation  of  the  heart,  nervousness,  fright- 
full  dreams,  neuralgia,  headache,  etc.  The  reason  this  disease  is  so  prevalent  is 
because  no  cases  are  cured  by  our  modern  physicians.  The  medicines  they  ad- 


11 


minister  only  serve  to  aggravate,  inflaming  the  stomach,  drying  up  the  secreriona 
and  stopping  the  flow  of  gastric  juice,  without  which  food  cannot  be  properly 
digested.  The  Indians  never  failing  remedy  for  this  disease  is  SAGWA,  wlucb 


quickly  restores  the  digestive  organs  to  a  normal  condition,  purifies  the  blood  and 
cleanses  the  system  af  all  impurities.     For  sale  by  all  druggists. 


JANY  years  ago  there  was  a  MEDICINE  MAN  in  the  tribe  of  Arrapaho 
Indians,  who  on  some  accounts  might  well  be  compared  with  some  of 
the  medical  practictioners  of  the  present  day.  Whatever  the  diagnosis, 
his  remedy  was  invariably  the  same,  and  consisted  of  beating  upon  a  torn- torn, 
yelling  hideously  and  dancing  wildly  about  the  patient,  until  he  was  either  fright 
ened  to  death  or  recovered  by  a  natural  process.  The  physician  of  to-day,  whether 
he  understands  a  case  or  not,  puts  on  a  wise  and  knowing  look  and  at  once  pre- 
tcribes  poisonous  pills  and  powders,  which  like  the  old  Arrapaho  Indian  doctor 


12 

rf&er  kills  the  patient,  or  leaves  him  to  recover  by  an  effort  of  nature.  The  great 
Medicine  Men  of  the  Kickapoos  ridicule  both.  Their  medicine  contains  no  poison, 
Mid  by  the  use  of  Indian  Sagwa,  kidney  complaints  such  as  backache,  lombago, 


diabetes,  Wright's  disease,  add  all  other  kindred  diseases  having  their  origin  in  the 
kidnevs  are  readily  cured. 


HEBE  is  no  class  of  people  in  the  world,  except  perhaps  the  Indians,  that 
realize  the  importance  af  health.  Their  power  as  an  organization,  depends 
somewhat  on  the  health  of  the  adults  and  to  ensure  this  the  offspring 

must  be  healthy.  Among  their '  'squaws" 
such  diseases  as  are  peculk  7  to  woman, 
and  which  are  named  below  aik. '  unknown 
while  their  alarming  increase  in  the 
present  generation  is  admitted  on  every 
hand.  These  diseases  are :  Constant  and 
periodical  sick  headache,  weakness  in  the 
back  or  kidneys,  pain  in  the  shoulders  or 
different  parts  of  the  body,  a  feeling  of 
lassitude  and  despondency,  bearing  down, 
pains,  prolepsis  er  retroversion  of  the 
womb  and  many  other  complaints  that 
nee  d  not  be  mentioned.  Hundreds  of

>HEN  the  pilgrims  first  landed  in  this  country  they  were  brought  face 
to  face  with  large  bodies  of  red-men,  in  none  of  whom  could  be  dis. 
covered  any  trace  of  disease,  and  very  seldom  indeed  would  any 
case  of  sickness  be  noted.  This,  to  the  pilgrims,  was  somewhat  mysterious,  as 
their  own  ranks  were  constantly  being  decimated  by  sickness  and  death,  notwith 
standing  the  fact  that  they  breathed  the  same  air,  drank  of  the  same  water  and 
substantially  partook  of  the  same  kind  of  food.  Sick  headache,  either  bilious  or 
nervous,  with  the  throbbing  pains  and  prostration  that  ever  attend  it,  did  not  afflict 
the  Indians;  they  were  never  troubled  w*th  a  loss  of  appetite,  or  of  indigestion  or 
sour  stomach;  they  labored  under  no  mental  depression,  a  malady  that  greatly 


troubled  their  white  brothers,  and  their  sleep  waa  peaceful  and  refreshing. 
mystery  was  solved  eventually,  when  it  was  found  that  the  Indians  depend  upon 
the  forests  for  their  medicines,  and  never,  under  any  circumstances  did  they  poison 
their  systems  with  drugs  and  chemicals.  This  was  the  state  of  affairs  many  years 
ago,  and  ever  since  then  the  knowledge  of  the  Indians  in  relation  to  medicine  has 
been  increasing — the  wisdom  of  one  generation  being  handed  down  and  added  to 
another,  until  at  last  the  Kickapoo  Indians,  after  years  of  study,  have  discovered 
that  a  combination  of  certain  barks,  roots  and  herbs  possess  medicinal  qualities 
mever  before  dreamed  of,  even  in  the  wildest  flights  of  imagination.  The  results  of 
this  combination  is  the  INDIAN  SAGWA,  and  for  the  diseases  named  it  has  no  <.  qual

I/THOUGH  in  the  great  West  the  Indians  that  roam  over  that  vast 
territory  are  irregular  in  their  habits  in  relation  to  eating  and  drinking, 
they  suffer  none  of  the  consequences  that  are  sure  to  attend  a  similiar 
cause  of  living  by  the 
averar  citizen  in  this

Constipation  or  costive- 
ness  has  made  the  lives 
of  many  people  miser 
able,  particularly  when 
the  disease  became  con 
tinued  or  chronic.  This 
is  caused  by  the  in 
activity  of  the  stomach, 
bowels  and  liver.  Ordi 
nary  cathartics  given 
merely  furnish  tem 
porary  relief  and  even 
then  only  at  the  expense 


of  a  permanent  injnry 
to  the  system  from  some 
mineral  poison.  INDIAN 
SAGWA  does  not  injure 


the  most  delicate  organization; 
but  tones  up  the  stomach  and 
liver,  and  helps  nature  to  assert 

her  supremacy  and  expunge  the  disease  from  the  svjstem.     Freshly

This  is  the  largest  gland  or  organ  in  the  human  body,  and  on  it  depends  the 
health  of  the  person  owning  it.  Many  of  the  diseases  that  human  flesh  is  heir  to 
arises  from  a  diseased  liver,  such  as  have  been  previously  mentioned  in  this  paper.

come  in  contract  with  an  Indian  with  his  face  swollen  out  of  human 

shape  by  that  painfal'  and

HE  Indians,  no  matter  where  seen,  are  noted  for  erect  figures,  suppleness 
of  limbs  and  freedom  of  action.  They  are  more  exposed  to  heat,  cold 
and  dampness  than  any  other  class  of  people,  yet  their  bones  are 

never  wracked  by  rheumatic  pains. 
Here,  nearly  one  half  the  people  comptain 
at  various  times  of  rheumatism,  which 
is  a  disease  much  to  be  dreaded.'  It  is 
always  dangerous  as  it  attacks  one  part 
of  the  boby  after  the  other,  causing 
the  joints  to  be  swelled  out  of  shape 
and  permanently  remain  in  that  deformed 
condition,  and  if  not  checked  it  soon 
attacks  the  vital  organs,  and  the  victim 
suffers  intense  agony,  and  finally  meeti 
with  a  premature  death.  This  disease 
can  be  effectually  removed  from  the 
system  by  using  the  SAGWA,  prepared

'HIS  secret,  though  much  sought  for,  has  never  yet  been  discovered. 
The  nearest  approach  that  has  ever  been  made  to  it  has  been  accom 
plished  by  the  Indians,  who  are  noted  for  their  longevity.  Their  ex 
treme  age  and  youthful  appearance  is  easily  accounted  for  by  any  one  with  a 
thinking  turn  of  mind.  .  First,  their  manner  of  living  is  more  in  harmony  with 
nature  than  any  other  class  of  people,  in  fact  it  is  nature  itself.  Second,  as 
soon  as  sickness  makes  it  appearance,  they  resort  to  nature  for  a  cure,  gathering 
barks  from  certain  trees,  roots  of  a  character  known  only  to  themselves,  and  herbs 
of  various  species,  from  which  they  make  their  medicine,  which  invariably  effects  a 
•peedy  cure.  ~  There  is  cne  among  the  number  now  in  camp,  who  has  reached  th»

extreme  age  of  NINETY  Two,  who  would  not  be  taken  to  be  over  fifty,  It  is  a 
fact  that  the  INDIAN  SAGWA  owes  its  remarkable  cures  to  the  products  of  nature. 
It  is  manufactured  from  barks,  roots  and  herbs,  known  only  to  the  Indians, 
and  can  be  made  by  none  but  them,  because,  they  only  know  at  what  season  there 
is  the  most  virtue  in  them,  and  when  they  should  be  gathered  Had  Medical 
men  of  to-day  the  names  of  these  ingredients,  even  then  they  would  be  useless  to 
them  for  the  reason  given  above.  The  Indians  however  have  the  advantage,  and 
to  such  properties  as  comprise  the  SAGWA  they  owe  their  longevity.  Sold  by  all 
druggists. 


MONG  those  who  reap  a  rich  harvest  by  their  avocations  in  this  country 
may  be  mentioned  the  Dentist,  whose  work  is  increasing  every  year. 
"  Store  teeth,"  as  they  are  called,  are  far  more  often  to  be  observed 

than  those  furnished  by  nature,  especially, 
(we  regret  to  state)  among  the  ladies. 
Defective  teeth  are  often  caused  by  a 
disordered  stomach,  the  poisonous  gases 
that  arise  therefrom  effecting  the  teeth 
and  which  results  in  decay.  But  who 
ever  saw  an  Indian  crying  with  the 
toothache!  What  patronage  did  a  Dentist 
ever  get  from  the  Indians !  Again  did 
any  one  ever  see  an  Indian  with  a  bad 
set  of  teeth  ?  No ;  sound  teeth  is  one 
of  the  many  evidences  of  health  notice 
able  among  them,  and  their  teeth  are 
noted  for  their  fineness,  firmness,  eveness 

and  whiteness,  and  they  always  remain  so  until  death.  This  is  accounted  for 
from  the  fact  that  they  are  habitually  chewing  barks,  roots  and  herbs,  the 
•ame  in  character  that  are  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the  INDIAN  SACJWA  and 
which  keeps  the  teeth  in  a  constant  state  of  preservation.  Prepared  and  sold

HE  almost  perfect  health  that  exists  among  the  Indians  as  a  race  has  beem 
frequently  commented  upon  by  writers,  who  have  oftentimes  attributed 
it  to  their  abstemious  habits  and  the  fact  they  have  not  except  in  a  few 


19 

instances  been  addicted  to  dissipated  habits  and  excesses.  While  it  is  true  that 
the  drinking  of  intoxicants,  the  too  free  use  of  tobacco,  and  other  excesses  tend  to 
pull  down  the  constitution  and  institute  general  decay  in  all  parts  of  the  system, 
these  are  not  the  sole  and  main  causes  for  all  the  physical  suffering  that  is  now 
endured  by  the  countless  thousands  of  Americans  and  Europeans  who  go  down  to 
untimely  graves.  If  you  will  ask  any  experienced  scout  or  hunter  (and  by  these 
we  do  not  mean  the  numberless  frauds  who  wear  long  hair  and  are  travelling 
through  the  country  with  theatrical  companies)  the  secret  of  the  Indians  being 
such  physicial  giants,  he  will  tell  you  that  it  is  because  the  Red  Man  has  th« 
secret  of  knowing  how  1o  preserve  his  health — the  medicine  men  of  the  tribe* 
treat  with  the  mediciues  that  God  intended  they  should  use,  the  roots  and  herbs 
that  grow  in  the  ground  of  the  forests  and  the  fields,  the  gums  that  ooze  out  of 
the  trunks  of  certain  trees,  the  barks  from  other  trees  and  the  leaves  of  others. 
While,  if  the  Indians  took  these  articles  in  their  crude  state  and  chewed  them 
they  might  not  benefit  him,  when  they  are  prepared  in  the  manner  that  is  a 
secret  with  their  medicine  men,  they  become  potent  to  cope  with  disease  in  almost 
any  .shape.  Look  at  the  perfection  of  the  health  of  the  aboriginals ;  their  form* 
are  stalwart  and  sinewy,  their  strength  is  the  strength  that  we  usually  suppose 
giants  to  possess,  and  they  hardly  know  what  it  is  to  have  any  trouble  of  the 
digestive  organs.  Their  teeth  are  sound  and  perfectly  white  and  remain  in  this 
condition  up  to  the  day  of  their  death. 

The  woman  of  the  Indian  race  are  as  different,  physically,  from  those  of 
our  own,  as  night  is  from  day.  They  are  strong  and  usually  accomplish  more 
arduous  work  than  the  men ;  they  can  go  on  a  long  march,  carrying  their  papa- 
popses  and  giving  them  sustenance,  after  which,  at  night,  when  they  encamp,  they 
will  do  all  the  necessary  work  and  afterwards  lie  down  and  sleep  sweetly  until 
early  morning,  when  they  arise,  fresh  and  with  none  of  that  languor  to  which  al 
most  nine-tenths  of  American  woman  are  subject.  If  all  the  American  men  and 
all  American  woman  took  the  medicine  of  the  Indians — the  great  Sagwa — they 
would  be  as  sound  and  perfect,  physically  as  their  red  brothers.  The  Indian  Sag 
wa  is  the  very  best  and  purest  preparation  that  the  oldest  medicine  men  are- 
cognizant  of  and  as  certainly  as  the  sun  rises  in  the  East,  so  certainly  will  it 
eradicate  forever  from  the  system,  all  those  manifold  ills  from  which  men  and 
women  are  to-day  suffering  the  most  excruciating  agonies.  Try  it  while  you  have 
the  opportunity. 


the  country — way  back  in  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  and  Vermont  in  particu- 
lar — every  year  fresh  herbs  are  gathered  "  for  sickness,"  and  these  are  dried, 
with  care  and  stowed  away  for  use.  Go  into  the  "  garrets  "  (as  they  call 
them)  of  any  farm-house,  and  there  you  will  see  bunches  of  herbs  hung  up  and 
marked,  and  if  any  one  in  the  family  is  sick,  a  doctor  is  not  sent  for  at  once,  but 


down  comes  a  bundle  of  herbs  from  which  tea  is  brewed  that  generally  cures  tho 
patient.  The  common  remark  of  one  neighbor  to  another  when  a  visit  to  the  sick 
one  is  made  is,  "  Have  you  given  him  (or  her)  any  herbs  ?  " 

Again,  in  the  spring 
of  the  year,  from  the 
head  down  to  the  small 
est  child,  in  every  family 
must  take  spring  bitters, 
which  is  made  of  roots 
and  herbs,  to  cleanse, 
their  blood.  This  is 
practiced  all  over  the* 
country,  so  spring  bit 
ters  is  another  common 
saying. 

The  Indians  believe 
in  keeping  the  blood 
pure,  not  only  in  spring 
time,  but  all  the  year  round,  only  to  do  this  they  have,  after  a  dilligent  search  ol 
many  years,  found  that  a  combination  of  certain  roots,  herbs  and  barks  will  do 
this,  and  will  purify  the  blood,  no  matter  how  bad  a  condition  it  may  be  in. 
Others  know  it  too;  and  now  when  one  meets  another  on  the  street  the  common 
remark  is,  "  Have  you  taken  Sagwa  ?  " 


has  been  said  from  time  immemorable  that  an  Indian  will  always  be  an 
Indian  to  the  end  of  the  world.  Well,  in  some  cases  he  has  proven  such 
but  in  others  he  has  not.  An  Indian,  it  is  said  never  forgives  an  injury, 
That  may,  or  may  not  be  true,  but  we  are  inclined  to  believe  he  does  some 
times  forgive  an  injury,  otherwise  there  would  be  no  "medicine  men"  of  the 
Kickapoo's  with  us ;  for  are  they  not  descendents  of  the  tribe  that  ceased  to  exist 
many  years  ago,  and  that  were  driven  from  their  homes  by  the  greed  of  the  white 
man;  It  was  a  long  while  ago  to  be  sure,  still  they  must  be  descendents.  But  then 
allowing  the  supposition  to  be  true,  that  they  never  forgive  an  injury,  cannot  the 
same  be  said  of  the  white  people  of  any  nationality  every  day  in  the  week  ?  But 
it  can  also  be  said  and  with  more  truth,  that  he  never  torgets  a  kindness,  and  thig 
Cannot  be  said  of  the  white  race.

The  Indians  in  this  city  have  done  untold  kindness  to  the  community  by 
coming  here  and  disposing  of  the  Indians  Sagwa.  They  alone  know  how^o  make 
it,  and  although  they  will  not  divulge  the  secret,  they  give  us  the  benefit  of  their 
knowledge.  The  Indians  have  great  regard  for  their  word  and  they  tell  you  upon 
their  word  of  honor  the  Sagwa  is  manufactured  from  roots,  herbs  and  barks  and 
contain  no  mineral  poison.  Some  of  the  roots  have  to  be  gathered  at  a  certain 


season,  to  be  of  use;  it  is  the  same  with  all  the  ingredients,  and  then  they  must  be 
handled  very  carefully  to  return  and  extract  their  medical  qualities.  There  is  no 
doubt  of  this  assertion,  and  it  is  an  insult  to  disbelieve  their  word  of  honor ;  but  in 
is  a  deadly  insult  for  a  physician  to  insult  you  by  poisoning  your  system  with  drugs 
which  they  know  will  lead  to  a  premature  death.  Indian  Sagwa  does  not  do  this. 
If  it  does  you  no  good,  when  taken  for  and  what  recommended,  it  will  be  almost  ft 
miracle.  But  it  will  never  do  you  any  harm. 


MF  there  lingers  in  the  mind  of  the  reader  any  doubt  concerning  the  authenti 
city  of  the  matter  published  in  this  paper,  it  can  be  easily  dispelled  by  a 
visit  to  the  encampmemt  of  the  Indians.   If  you  have  any  doubts  about  these 
being  veritable  Indians,  you  can  be  convinced  in  the  same  way,  and  you  can  gain 
admission  free  during  the  day.     If  you  have  any  doubts  concerning  the  virtues  of 
their  medicine,  when  taken  for  the  disease  it  is   recommended,  try   a  bottle   at  all 
hazzards,  then  you  can  but  be  satisfied. 

It  is  strange,  but  nevertheless  true,  that  these  Indians  do  not  claim  that 
their  Sagwa  will  cure  everything.  It  is  strange,  because  nearly  all  .the  medicine 
put  up  in  bottles  is  recommended  to  cure  any  disease  that  either  the  human  of 


&e  brute  creation  are  liable.  But  they  make  no  such  statement.  They  tell  yon 
frankly  that  the  Sagwa  will  nrt  cure  everything,  neither  do  they  promise  that 
one  bottle  will  cure  you  of  a  long  standing  disease.  But  they  do  tell  you  that  ii 
you  have  liver  complaint,  any  disease  of  the  kidneys,  although  they  are  compli 
cated  and  numerous,  or  are  troubled  with  dispepsia  you  can  be  cured  by  the  use 
of  Sagwa.  This,  with  them,  is  no  idle  boast ;  they  stand  ready  to  offer  convinc 
ing  proof  of  their  statements.  If  they  had  not  the  utmost  confidence  in  the  Sagwa, 
they  would  probably  act  after  the  manner  of  agents,  or  manufacturers  of  patent 
medicine  (with  whom  they  should  not  be  confounded),  by  coming  among  you,  mak 
ing  a  great  display,  flooding  the  city  with  advertisements,  disposing  upon  falsa 
statements  of  as  much  of  their  medicine  as  possible,  and  then  departing  for  parts 
unknown,  leaving  you  with  the  experience, while  they  would  pocket  the  money.  They 
do  nothing  of  the  kind.  They  stay  among  you,  month  after  month,  like  honest 
men,  and  this  in  itself  should  be  sufficient  proof  that  their  Sagwa  has  all  the  viff. 
tues  that  is  claimed  for  it. 


Does  the  thief  who  steals  your  watch  or  pocket-book  remain  by  your  side 
weeks  upon  weeks  ?  No.  He  secludes  himself  from  you.  Does  the  "  Peter 
Funk  "  auctioneer,  or  the  forger  who  has  succeeded  in  getting  a  worthless  check 
cashed,  remain  near  the  scene  of  his  exploits  ?  No.  He  seeks  "  fresh  fields  aad 
pastures  new." 

The  Indians  have  nothing  to  fear,  because  they  are  doing  a  legitimate  busi 
ness,  and  are  giving  many  times  more  than  an  equivalent  for  the  money  they  re 
ceive.  They  are  honest  and  truthful  concerning  their  great  medicine,  which  is 
composed  wholly  of  roots  herbs  and  barks,  and  have  no  occasion  to  run  away.  They 
fear  not  to  meet  one  who  has  purchased  their  Sagwa,  because  they  know  its  re 
medial  power,  and  know  that  it  will  stand  the  test  of  trial.

is  hardly  a  person  over  four  years  of  age  that  does  not  kno\r  that 
the  country  we  now  inhabit,  was  once  the  property  of  Indians,  But  on  a 
bright  morning  they  were  surprise  to  see  ships  approaching  the  coast, 
•gomething  they  knew  not  of  ;  consequently  they  were  alarmed.  Could  they  have 
known  the  future  they  would  have  been  more  alarmed  and  doubtless  would  have 
extermiated  the  entire  number  in  the  vessels.  But  they  did  not,  and  the  Indians 


as  the  white  population  increased,  were  driven  from  their  lands  to  the  westward 
further  and  further  as  emigration  continued  until  they  are  now  at  peace  only  be 
yond  the  Eocky  Mountains.  Weil,  history  is  repeated  here,  for  now  the  white  race 
are  obliged  to  follow  in  their  footsteps  to  gain  a  lively  hood. 

This  they  can  do,  but  there  is  one  thing  they  cannot  do  and  that  is,  to  gain 
their  knowledge  concerning  the  medicinal  qualities  in  roots,  herbs  and  barks. 
Although  in  a  country  where  there  are  no  physicians  (except  their  own)  within 
hundreds  of  miles,  liable  at  any  time  to  an  accident,  a  long  and  deep  cut,  bruises 
and  contusion  or  some  disorder  of  the  human  system,  they  have  only  to  apply  to 
nature,  as  found  in  the  forests,  and  they  find  such  remedies  as  at  once  restores  them 


24 


to  a  sound  physical  condition.     This  the  white  men  in  crossing  the  Plains  cannot 
•do,  and  when  sick  or  lame,  has  seek  to  some  Indian  village  for  relief. 


To  introduce  their  medicine '  and  to 
relieve  as  far  as  in  their  power  the  misery 
now  in  our  midst,  a  large  party  of  "  me 
dicine  men"  have  visited  this  city  and  can 
be  seen  daily.  The  Indian  Sagwa,  which  has  met  with  such  immense  sale  and

lady  residing  in  the  State  of  Maine,  had  been  in  extreme  agony  for  year, 
and  had  more  than  once  been  under  the  surgeons  knife  in  consequences 
of  a  cancer  on  the  breast*  She  had  tried  doctors  far  and  near  for  relief

each  of  whom  was  positive  mat  he  could  remove  it,  but  no  benefit  was  received. 
Finally  when  she  had  given  up  all  hope,  there  came  to  the  village  aparty  of  Indians, 

who  pitcthed  their  tents  on  the  out 
skirts  and  commenced  to  make  bas 
kets,  canes  and  bows  and  arrows, 
which  they  sold  for  their  inaintainence. 
The  females  sold  the  basket  and  the 
bead  work  from  house  to  house  in  the 
village,  and  in  the  course  of  time  one 
of  them,  an  old  woman  called  at  the 
house  of  the  sick  lady  mentioned^ 
who  bought  some  of  her  wares.  The 
Indian  woman  expressed  much  sym 
pathy  and  asked  the  nature  of  hep 
complaint,  and  upon  being  informed,  asked  what  remedies  had  been  applied  or 
taken  internally.  Upon  being  told  she  said  : — "  No  good;  make  white  squaw  sick  5 
me  bring  good  medicine ; 
make  lady  well;  you  take 
my  medicine  ?  "  Thinking 
that  no  medicine  could 
make  her  worse,  she  an 
swered  in  the  affirmative 
and  the  Indian  woman  at 
once  departed.  In  two 
days  she  returned,  bring 
ing  a  bottle  of  medicine 
and  a  box  of  salve,  and 
said: — "You  put  salve  on 
sore,  take  so  much  medi 
cine,"  designating  with  her  finger  "  three  times  every  sun ;  then  when 
gone  me  bring  more ;  you  be  well  soon."  The  medicine  was  taken  as  directed 


«rithout  the  least  idea  of  being  benefitted ;    but  contrary   to  expectations,    she  re 
covered  fully. 

Now,  the  Indians  do  not  claim  that  the  Sagwa  prepared  by  them  will  remove  a 
cancer,  because  it  has  never  been  to  their  knowledge,  tried  for  that  purpose. .   Ifc

kas  never  been  recommended  by  them  for  that  disease,  yet  it  would  undoubtedly 
operate  favorably  in  such  a  case,  for  it  purifies  the  blood  and  expunges  any  poison 


ous  matter  from  the  system.  There  is  no  case  on  record  of  an  Indian  having  a 
cancer  and  it  can  be  accounted  for  from  the  fact  that  they  use  their  Sagwa  freely 
from  infancy,  and  this  medicin<^  instead  of  being  made  of  chemicals  and  cheap 
Hquor  that  poison  the  entire  system,  is  made  of  barks,  (or  certain  parts  of  barks? 
reots  and  herbs,  the  names  cC  which  are  known  only  to  themselves.
